SECTION 268
Disaffirmance of fraudulent act by executor and others
Real Property (RPP) CHAPTER 50, ARTICLE 8
§ 268. Disaffirmance of fraudulent act by executor and others. An
executor, administrator, receiver, assignee or other trustee, may, for
the benefit of creditors, or of others interested in real property held
in trust, disaffirm, treat as void and resist any act done or transfer
or agreement made in fraud of the rights of any creditor, including
himself, interested in such estate or property; and a person who
fraudulently receives, takes, or in any manner interferes with the real
property of a deceased person, or an insolvent corporation, association,
partnership, or individual, is liable to such executor, administrator,
receiver or other trustee for the same, or the value thereof, and for
all damages caused by such act to the trust estate. A creditor of a
deceased insolvent debtor, having a claim or demand exceeding one
hundred dollars against such deceased, may, for the benefit of creditors
or others interested in the real property of such deceased, disaffirm,
treat as void, and resist any act done or conveyance, transfer or
agreement made by such deceased in fraud of the rights of any creditor,
including himself, and may maintain an action to set aside such act,
conveyance, transfer or agreement, without having first obtained a
judgment on such claim or demand; but the same, if disputed, may be
established on the trial. The judgment in such action may provide for
the sale of the premises or property involved, when a conveyance or
transfer thereof is set aside, and that the proceeds thereof be brought
into court or paid into the proper surrogate's court to be administered
according to law.
